Volkswagen ID. Buzz teams with Ohme for bundled EV deal

Volkswagen’s new all-electric ID. Buzz is now available as a one-stop EV package with Ohme’s Home Pro smart charger included.

The ID. Buzz MPV and ID. Buzz Cargo van now come with an Ohme Home Pro smart charger on finance deals

Customers who finance their ID. Buzz MPV or ID. Buzz Cargo van now also receive an Ohme Home Pro, following last month’s announcement of a partnership between the two companies.

“The ID. Buzz is one of the most exciting new EVs on the market and, together with our Home Pro, this is a great package for a new car buyer,” said David Watson, CEO at Ohme. “Here at Ohme, we’re delighted to be extending our relationship with Volkswagen with this bundled agreement with the ID. Buzz and our Home Pro smart charger.”

Ohme’s Home Pro smart charger can connect with the national grid in real time and automatically adjust its charging, enabling drivers to benefit from low-price charging with smart off-peak tariffs.

It means that a full 0-100% charge with an Ohme Home Pro, combined with a smart off-peak tariff from Octopus, could cost just £7.70. This compares to over £26 on the standard variable tariff and would give an official WLTP range of more than 250 miles from the ID. Buzz’s 77kWh battery.

“We chose Ohme as our charging partner for Volkswagen and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles because of its award-winning Home Pro product and excellent attitude towards customer service,” said Alice Axtell from Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles. “This latest bundled package with the ID. Buzz further underlines that relationship with a great offer for customers buying this highly sought-after electric vehicle.”

Not only can drivers slash their bills with Ohme but they can also cut their CO2 impact, thanks to the ability to charge their vehicle when renewable energy generation on the National Grid is at its highest.
